    Off topic but this quote really reminded me of a game probably 10 years ago vs TOR. Aybar gets a double and Hudler says "man I just love the way Aybar plays, always in action!" Physioc says "Wow Hud I think you just came up with a great nickname for him. Action Aybar!"

    Hudler- "Hmm I don't know, I think we could come up with something better."

    Physioc: "Oh okay. How about....AybAARGGH! He's a pirate!"

    *awakward silence*

    Hudler- "Uhh I don't think so."

    Haha still cracks me up

    Actually, Rengifo reminds be of Aybar

    Rest of the season outlook, I'm not buying it. Yeah, the offense is good....but the Angels still have the same problem they've had for 4 years now....pitching. Skaggs is gone, Canning isn't himself lately,  Shohei isn't an option....

    It's not enough. 

    Granted, the Athletics aren't that good. They will falter. The Rangers aren't that good either. I'd even go so far as saying the Angels are better than both of them.  But the Red Sox, Rays and Indians ARE that good. The Sox pen will stabilize soon with Eovaldi coming back and Barnes getting his head on straight. The Rays have a never ending supply of good young players ready to step in and deliver, and the Indians got Clevinger back, are about to get Kluber back and are going to be rocking a rotation with Bauer, Bieber, Kluber and Clevinger.

    The Angels just can't compete with any of that,  not until next year at least, and even then, that's going to require having Shohei back plus getting Gerrit Cole, and getting healthy, stay performances from Heaney, Skaggs, Barria, Suarez, Pena.

    If we can get anything from Skaggs next year, it will be a freaking miracle! 

    right now, we have Houston on the ropes for this 4 game set. we need take at least 1 of the 2 remaining games. Lets do it boys! if we sweep, Arte and Eppler will have to grab some pitching. just no way around it. the stars are aligned at the moment

    I was lucky enough to be here with my wife, son and daughter in law.  My wife cried after the game.  I asked her why she was crying and she said "I'm just so happy that Tyler Skaggs mom was here for this."

    Shit, now I'm crying 12 hours later...

    I think if Manfred contacted 9 other AL clubs then the Angels will be assured if making the playoffs this season.

    This would only happen if the Angels came out publicly and said "those stinkin balls aren't juiced!"

    https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/07/10/atlantic-league-to-experiment-with-batters-stealing-first-base/

    The Atlantic League will be experimenting with a new rule in the second half of the season

    In the second half of the season, the league will allow batters to steal first base: Any pitch on any count not caught in flight will be considered a live ball, and a batter may run to first base, similar to a dropped third strike.

    "May" run to 1st base? what if he doesn't? can they tag him out? lots of open ends on this.

    how about anyone walked on 4 straight pitches gets a 2 base walk
